When River arrived the huge Johannes building she took a huge sigh..she was still clutching her bag. The only possession she had left.. inside it few souvenirs she saved

" I'm sorry ma'am you can't go in.. " one guard stood in front of her..

" Of course I can..and I will.." River snapped

The guard was persistent that River pushed him aside..
That was when another one came..

" Ahh.. so they're scared .. that's correct bitches... Better be scared " she shouted up knowingly Marcus was somewhere looking.

Her commotion stopped a few workers but no one dared to move near.. they all valued their jobs

" You are charged with murder and burning of a public facility.. wait here for the cops"

River scoffed.." what.. is this some kind of a joke..?"

After seeing his expression from his  face she knew he wasn't joking.. so what had Marcus done now..? She wondered.. had he really kept the blame on her..?

" Let me pass.. "

The security guard was now holding her shoulder moving her away. River clenched her fists and threw it by his sides. He let go of her and groaned. What happened next made River realize she had made a mistake.. maybe she shouldn't have hit him

About twenty guards came running.. even before thinking what to do next she was on the ground.
They kept hitting her non stop...
At a point, she felt something break..
Despite the pain she bit her tongue not to scream..

It was now that she realized that she walked in their trap.
The workers who had stop by were coward enough to just watch.. some who really loved River were tearing up..

River kept groaning.. tears blurring her vision..

' God.. help me out here..'

After so many years, she managed that one sentence prayer..
And maybe it was effective, because she next minute.. everything was black.

The next time she opened her eyes..   her left eye remained closed, the swell was too much..
But just that one eye was enough to let her see the devil in front of him..

He was standing there in his glory...
That blue suit fit him perfectly as if he was one of the Armani models
Today his hair almost sleeked back giving him that CEO aura, his hands pocketed .. but she could still see the gold Rolex watch stealing a glance

Somehow even in this situation.. his sandalwood scent filled the room..
He was looking at her with so much venom.. hatred..
But he managed a smirk...

She wanted to glare back.. but her whole body ached, she wondered if she moved a muscle she'd die. Now after thinking about moving a muscle.. she realized she was tied up

" You devil.. " she tried to snap but her words came a bit slurred, Due to her swollen tongue she had bit alot.

" Makes two of us.. "

River looked at the dark environment.. guards surrounded the place

Basement..

She figured.. so they kidnapped her or what was this supposed to be slow painful death..?

" All this.. so I can not expose you're lame ass... Ha! Where is he..?''

Laurence scoffed.." your little act won't work here Gray.. "

" I have a name.. "

" Which I completely care less about" Laurence shrugged

" Where is Marcus..?"
